  1. Psalm 66:17 tn Heb “to him [with] my mouth I called.”
  2. Psalm 66:17 tn Heb “and he was extolled under my tongue.” The form רוֹמַם (romam) appears to be a Polal (passive) participle from רוּם (rum, “be exalted”), but many prefer to read רוֹמָם, “high praise [was under my tongue]” (cf. NEB). See BDB 928 s.v. רוֹמָם.
  3. Psalm 66:18 tn Heb “sin if I had seen in my heart.”
